Hello my crafty friends!
I'm so glad you're visiting! I have another page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 4 - Think
I have done my fair share of thinking, and then some. About everything. The direction I want to go in life, the choices I need to make; thinking is a neverending process. Thinking take up a good portion of most everyone's day, regardless of how big or small the choice is. I also hink about art supplies and what direction I want my projects to go.
Part of thinking of where I want my projects includes what parts am I going to compose my project out of, and do I need to get any of them? That may, of course, require making a purchase. That's why I've been working on a couple different strategies to increase my cash flow. One is being an Amazon affiliate. All you have o d is follow the links Ive included to some of my favorite products and make a purchase. I get commission, but your price does not increase. Another avenue I'm pursuing is a very simple e-mail system called Cliqly.
You log in, spend 10 minutes sending e-mails, earning click
commissions. If you include your referral link,
you can also earn referral commissions. You don't pay to get the referral link and this isn't a scam. Anyone can do this, no tech experience needed. I'm not messing around, at least not when it comes to this. I mess around with art, not making money.
I'm also entering my page into these challenges:
Creative Fingers Challenge #260 - Anything Goes
Crazy is Our Fame August Challenge
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what's she's making for each prompt. For those just tuning in, I'm working in a mini art journal I made out of envelopes, but you can use many different things, including scrap or underpaper, so some pages already had stuff on them. A hole punch and some baker's twine later and a mini art journal for the challenge is born!
I'm planning to post all of my pages, though some may be individual pages and some may be in group.
I covered my page with a couple different paints colors, including black through a handwriting stencil similar to this one and some yellow through my chevron stencil from The Crafter's Workshop.
I added some details using some circle stamps from a set designed by
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and a red dye stamping ink cube from a rainbow set
I've had forever. I also put some darker green paint through an older Dylusions stars
stencil and then offset the stencil a little, grabbed my Sharpie pen and traced the stencil with my pen.
The doodle border on the side is me playing with my Sharpie pen. The letter tiles are from a old kit from Studio Calico, I think. I have a set in blue as well.
My thinking girl is from Oddball Art. I love my Oddball Art images. So fun, and a little bit sarcastic.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my art journal page. Bye for now!
